Favicon Generator
Generate favicons in all sizes from any image.
About Favicon Generator
A favicon is the small icon browsers show in tabs, bookmarks, and search results — and producing every required size by hand is tedious. This free favicon generator creates all eight standard sizes from a single image in one click: 16x16 through 512x512, including the 180x180 Apple touch icon and the 192x192 and 512x512 Android and PWA icons. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your artwork never leaves your device, and there is no sign-up, no watermark, and nothing to install. Upload a logo, click once, and download a complete icon set.
The generator also hands you the exact code to use. After your icons are created, copy the ready-made HTML snippet, paste it into your site’s head section, and drop the downloaded PNG files into your web root — every browser and device then picks the right size automatically. For the crispest results, start from a square image of at least 512x512 pixels; a simple, bold design that stays legible at 16x16 works far better than a detailed photograph. It is a complete favicon workflow for developers, bloggers, and anyone launching a new website.

Frequently asked questions
Which favicon sizes are generated?
Eight PNG sizes covering every common use: 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, and 128x128 for browser tabs and bookmarks, 180x180 for the Apple touch icon, and 192x192 and 512x512 for Android home screens and PWA manifests.
Do I still need a favicon.ico file?
Usually not. All modern browsers fully support PNG favicons declared with link tags, which is exactly what this tool produces. A legacy .ico file only matters if you need to support very old browsers like Internet Explorer.
What kind of image should I start with?
Use a square image, ideally 512x512 pixels or larger, since every size is scaled down from your original. Simple, high-contrast designs survive the shrink to 16x16 far better than photos or fine text.
Which formats can I upload, and is there a size limit?
Any image your browser can open works — PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, and SVG — up to 50 MB. PNG or SVG sources with transparency produce the cleanest icons.
Is my logo uploaded to a server?
No. The favicons are generated entirely in your browser and your image never leaves your device — a real advantage when working with unreleased branding.
Is this favicon generator free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no limits on how many icon sets you generate.
